The art joint entrance examination is a professional unified examination organized by all provinces, and it is also a qualification examination for art students. Only by passing the examination can candidates be eligible to apply for the school examination organized by art colleges and colleges. In the studio, those art candidates who are looking forward to various art schools are all struggling to get the ideal score in the joint entrance examination.

They have to constantly practice several compulsory subjects, and they have used drawing paper to stack up higher than a person.

What is the concept of the city's first?

It's almost no different from a literate student who casually takes the college entrance examination to become a champion.

Not to mention No. 1 in the city, as long as you can make it into the top 50, the studio where the examinee is located will be turned upside down, and everyone will flock to learn painting the next year.

And when the studio recruits students every year, it will also use the slogan: We made a few top names last year, and the pass rate is controlled at a few percent as a slogan.

After Kang Kai finished speaking, the fan-shaped pen in the classmate's hand almost didn't hold, and after a thousand words, only one sentence came out: "What the hell?"

Kang Kai shook his head, and said in a tone of indifference: "You are still too young, and there are people outside people who have mountains outside the mountains, and I silently recite the words twice in my heart."

The classmate: "Really so powerful?"

Kang Kai didn't say any more, just said, "I asked you to meditate on something just now. Anyway, there are some people you have to obey."

Actually, before Kang Kai met Xu Sheng, he had never seen such a person—or he was not a person at all, but a devil. Although their studio is small, his mother is not a simple person. He used to teach at the Academy of Fine Arts, but he retired from the Academy of Fine Arts after a period of bad health. After leaving the hospital, he opened his own studio.

Kang Kai, under the guidance of Kang Ma's words and deeds, believed that he had some artistic talent, until a woman knocked on the door of their studio and brought a bunch of gifts: "Hello, I'm really sorry... I'm usually busy with work, and he is alone. I'm not worried at home."

After the woman was polite, she raised her intentions euphemistically.

When he met Xu Sheng for the first time, he had only one impression: this boy was too ostentatious.

Xu Sheng's appearance can easily make people feel distant, but his personality is completely different, and his emotional intelligence is so high that there is no trace. In winter, he was wearing a black sweater, which made his complexion pale, and his eyes were filled with a little smile. He greeted him very deeply: "Hello, sister." Then he looked at Kang Kai: "Is this your brother? "

Just this sentence captured his mother, she wished Xu Sheng would come to the studio every day, and laughed wildly: "What's your name, sister, oh, I'm at this age... just call me Aunt Kang."

Of course these are not the point.

The point is that Xu Sheng stayed in the studio for no more than three months, and Kang Kai's worldview was cracked.

It was a sketching class, and his mother sat in front of the book and acted as a model for them: "The sketching time is 30 minutes, and the drawing paper will be collected after 30 minutes, and I will grade it on the spot later."

The stack of drawing paper that was handed in at the end contained a thin piece of paper that was apparently torn from the exercise book. The upper left corner of the piece of paper was arrogantly written with a few words, the first big word was "Solution" ", the complete content is - Solution: This question will not.

In addition to this line of words, a sketch with a complete composition was drawn on the paper. The handwriting is just an ordinary water pen. It is impossible to use the traditional charcoal or pencil to deal with the virtual and real techniques of the sketch, but it still grasps the dynamic of the woman. Lively, with decisive lines.

The clothing pattern is randomly drawn with two strokes at the joints, reflecting the sense of volume.

"..." Kang Kai was stunned for a long time as he watched his mother's rating halfway through, "Who painted this painting?"

After a long time, sitting in the last row of the studio, because he didn't want to do his homework, the boy who was half-faced on the table moved, with a black pen between his fingers, and raised his hand: "The homework is too boring, just draw it casually. "

Aunt Kang was silent for two seconds in surprise before asking, "Have you studied before?"

"No," Xu Sheng sat up, put down the pen in his hand, and didn't care, "Is it difficult?"

Aunt Kang: "..."

Came up to see Kang Kai after the painting: "..."

At first, he tried to regard Xu Sheng as his life-long enemy, but it didn't take long for him to even see his car exhaust.

From now on, in Kang Kai's heart, the word "Xu Sheng" is basically the same as opening up against the sky.

There is a long row of sinks in the studio, and the faucets are next to each other, which is convenient for students to wash painting tools after class. The tiles are stained with colorful paint marks that have not been washed.

After Xu Sheng, who was hanging up against the sky, washed his hands, Kang Kai was already waiting for him at the entrance of the studio. He crouched on the edge of the flower bed at the entrance of the studio. When Xu Sheng came out, he patted his trouser legs: "Going to the station? Give you a ride."

Xu Sheng: "It's only a few steps away. If you have the skills, you might as well go back and change your avatar."

"Fuck," Kang Kai said, "We haven't seen each other for such a long time, so you know how to mock me."

Xu Sheng laughed and stopped joking.

After walking out for a while, Kangkai said, "I went back to the warehouse and saw that the drawing paper was moved. Have you ever gone back?"

"It was when school started," Xu Sheng took two seconds to remember when Kang Kai said "the last time", and said, "I went there once, so I went back and took a look."

The warehouse belonged to a friend of Kang Kai's. It was abandoned for many years and could not be used. Later, it was lent to Xu Sheng to store the painting tools that he had used before. At the moment when everything was sealed and locked, Kang Kai, a bystander, felt uncomfortable watching from the side. Xu Sheng hung the key around his neck without saying a word, and didn't mention it again after that.

Kang Kai: "I wanted to contact you often, but you didn't reply."

Xu Sheng: "It's okay, you can still contact me if you want to."

Kang Kaixin said that No. 6 Middle School has always been known for its many rules, and it is too rigid: "Is there not many rules in Linjiang No. 6 Middle School?"

"It's quite a lot. There are more than 500 school rules in total," Xu Sheng said, and then added, "But when have I ever followed the rules?"

……

This thought is enlightened!

Kang Kai really felt that his brother was really awesome.

After Kang Kai sighed inwardly, he remembered that Xu Sheng didn't say that in the studio just now. He said that he didn't reply to his news because the school was very strict.

"No, you said just now... why do you make a speech all the time?"

Xu Sheng: "I lied to you just now."

Kang Kai: "Fuck!"

The bus leaves every fifteen minutes. When the two of them walked to the station, the No. 2 bus came in slowly.

"Just send it here." Xu Sheng said.

Kang Kai didn't answer. After a while, he suddenly called him, "Brother Sheng."

Xu Sheng turned back.

Kang Kai didn't know if he should mention this again. After Xu Sheng said that he would stop painting, the topic became invisibly sensitive. In the end, he still said, "I really think that if you go to take the joint entrance examination, what will Qingmeiyang be? Beauty is not a problem."

The sky was getting dark, and the lights of the slowly approaching buses came straight on. The scattered light covered Xu Sheng's eyebrows, and he couldn't see what his expression was at the moment. Finally, he said, "Let's go."

When Xu Sheng arrived home, he found that there was no one at home. He looked down at WeChat and saw the message Xu Yaping sent him half an hour ago.

-Mom has gone to the company, she has something to do temporarily.

- You only have those two bites for dinner. If you're hungry, ask for something to eat.

Xu Yaping is busy with work. She works as an HR in a private company. She lost her job when she gave birth to Xu Sheng and took a year off at home. When she came back, she found that the society was changing with each passing day. .

In order to support her family, she was very tired and worked under high pressure.

Anyone who sees it will praise it: it is not easy.

Xu Sheng couldn't ignore these two pieces of news. He sighed and replied: Got it.

Xu Sheng stepped on his slippers and went back to the room.

The phone rang twice again.

This time, the flashing icon in the notification bar is a group chat message.

The official class group of Class 27 of Senior High School has a special official name: Love each other's family.

At first glance, Hou Jun took this name.

All the students in the official group, including the teacher, were there, and usually no one spoke. The reason for the resurrection of the zombie group this time was that Tan Kai carefully circled Meng Guowei in the group to inquire about the monthly exam news.

Tan Kai: Teacher Meng, when will the monthly test results be released?

Meng Guowei: Soon!

Hou Jun also appeared very fast, and it was obvious that he had negotiated with Tan Kai.

Hou Jun: How soon?

Meng Guowei: Don't worry, we are stepping up the time to mark the papers, and we will try to get you to come over on Monday to talk about the monthly exam papers.

Xu Shengxin said: "It doesn't have to be that fast.

Of course, the people in the class group were eager for the grades to come out later, and when they heard the news, they were all disappointed.

Hou Jun: Good teacher, you have worked hard. Actually, we care more about your health than your grades.

Tan Kai followed and sang the double reed: Yes, don't be too tired, it doesn't matter if the grades come out later.

Xu Sheng silently liked these two in his heart, exited the group chat box, and clicked on the other one.

Just looking at Shao Zhan's head, he could almost make up Shao Zhan's face.

Xu Sheng recalled how he played under Xu Sheng's name in the examination room, and the more he recalled, the more guilty he became.

S: Did you watch the group?

S: You next Monday... do you want to take a leave of absence?

When Shao Zhan received the news, he had just finished a set of papers.

Shao Zhan leaned against the back of his chair, rarely taking time out of various exam papers, and motioned him to continue: Then.

S: Then I will first look at the specific results, and the reactions of Lao Meng and the others, and then think of countermeasures.

Shao Zhan: It's all dead, so you still have to pick the day?

S: ...

The old people living downstairs in the residential building like to listen to opera, and the old people's ears are not good, so the sound of the TV is always loud, and the old-fashioned TV's babbling sound is constantly coming out. Most of the houses in Nanping District are old, which is very different from the urban area. There are not many middle schools, and the news is relatively closed.

There are two bedrooms and one living room, the house is empty, and only Shao Zhan is alone.

The place where the photo frame was originally placed in the living room has disappeared, and only a rectangular trace remains.

Shao Zhan went to the kitchen to pick up a glass of water and was about to write another set of papers when the phone rang again.

S: As compensation, I'll bring you breakfast next week? What do you want to eat.

S: Or something else, I owe you one time anyway.

S: You can do whatever you want.

Whatever you want, it's fine.

Hold.

Only after the last sentence was sent did Xu Sheng realize that it was very ambiguous.

After two seconds, withdraw directly.

Meng Guowei said that they are stepping up the scoring, which is true.

The teachers of No. 6 Middle School didn't have a holiday on weekends, so they worked overtime to approve test papers.

He was in the office when he replied to the class group message, and there were several stacks of test papers in front of him. In order to ensure the fairness of the scoring, the column where the student number name could be seen on the side was sealed. Which candidate did it belong to... but there are also surprises.

When the examination paper was approved, Meng Guowei took off his glasses, raised his hand to pinches the bridge of his nose, and tried to relieve eye fatigue.

"Mr. Meng," the Chinese teacher in the next class just finished approving the stack of papers at hand and asked, "Have you approved Shao Zhan's papers?"

Meng Guowei put on his glasses again and said, "I didn't approve it. It should be with you, right?"

Shao Zhan's handwriting is beautiful and his test scores are high. Teachers of various subjects can recognize his papers without looking at his name. Of course, in addition to Shao Zhan, there is another person who is particularly recognizable, that is, Xu Sheng, whose characters are so bad that he can't see them.

The Chinese teacher next door said that this is strange. There were only two teachers who approved the Chinese exam papers. She turned over the exam papers that had just been approved from beginning to end to confirm that she must not have been approved. She guessed: "The exam papers are for Are the numbers all in order, are you sure you have them all? You really don't have them there?"

Meng Guowei hasn't finished his approval yet, and there are not many sheets left. He glanced through it roughly, and the handwriting of each test paper was not like what Shao Zhan wrote: "I don't have it either."

The Chinese teacher next door wanted to say something, but Meng Guowei had a big heart. He waved his hand, he didn't care, and he didn't worry about Shao Zhan in his class. He even thought about how to celebrate Shao Zhan's victory this time. No. 1: "It doesn't matter, I'm not worried about Shao Zhan's grades at all, and he will definitely be the first place again. When the time comes, I will pick out his papers after counting the scores, and you can take them and make more copies! There are also our monthly exams. The big-character poster for the grade ranking, the first place can be filled in with the name first.”
